Considers the life and work of German philosopher Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno (1903-1969). "In capturing the man in his complex relationships with some of the century's finest minds -- including, among others, Arnold Schoenberg, Walter Benjamin, Thomas Mann, Siegfried Kracauer, Georg Lukacs, Hannah Arendt, and Bertolt Brecht -- Claussen reveals how much we have yet to learn from Theodor Adorno, and how much his life can tell us about ourselves and our time."
